Hi there
Stewart Fagg was my great uncle. My Gfather was Walter Edward Fagg no 13 out of 16. Stewart was no 15.  I too would love to know the true story - his heroic deed was also reported in the Kent Advertiser Sat Jan 30 1915 with his photo.
If you have any more family details, not just him I would love to share them and anything I have.
I have met descendants of Frank Datson Fagg no 16.

my email address is (*)
Thank you, Frances Cadman nee fagg

Hi Roger  I would love to hear more about this story and any Fagg genealogy in the same line. Stewart is my great uncle.  I am researching from New Zealand.  Fran Cadman

Stewart is recorded ( without his V.C. but with a medal index card) at the Lives of the First World War website.
All the chat that has developed would make a marvelous addition as he was not remembered until today! Can I encourage all those who have chimed in to remember him, you only need to sign in to make contribution. I have started the ball rolling.

Stewart Ernest Fagg is remembered and recorded he is a distant cousin of mine. He was baptized 3-2-1889 Iwade, Kent. He married In 1915 Woolwich to Dorothy Ivy Bishop born 1891 Faversham, Kent. They had three sons Stuart Victor Fagg born 1919 Lewisham died 1983 Bournmouth, Dorset. John Richard Fagg born 1921 Lewisham, died 8-6-1944 France. Wilfred Arthur Fagg born 20-9-1924 Lewisham, died 2001 Bath.  Steward Ernest Fagg died 1968 Sittingbourne, Kent his wife Dorothy Ivy Fagg died 1973 Sittingbourne, Kent. The burial records for Sittingbourne Cemetery which I have researched have no record of him or his wife being buried here in Sittingbourne.

His/her son is on the "Selling" war memorial. There is a chance that Stewart and Ivy is at Selling also.

Yes thank you I have been meaning to get off the Train at Selling and go and have a look around. I think I need to contact Faversham Library and go through the burial records there.

I have been following this thread about this man.  Sadly the records on WIKI are not accurate, and I found it difficult to correct the errors listed about Ernest Sykes VC.  I have checked the three volume Methuen, complete History of the VC and GC published in 2013, and can find no reference to his surname.  In terms of annotating his medal card, in the case of Ernest Sykes, the letters VC were added in big bold lettering to the front card.
